    Came here around 9:30am on a weekday to do some studying and also try their matcha. I gotta matcha latte with oat milk & honey. I would give their matcha a solid 9/10. I love how natural tasting their matcha is. It isn't overly sweet or bitter. I also got a chocolate donut, it was ehhh. It was cold af lol and not worth the price. It was pretty packed in there when it comes to finding a study spot. They do have a decent amount of tables as well as the counter tables. It is not quiet tho, so don't expect a calm, quiet coffee shop. It does get pretty loud in there!

    Nice coffee shop with unique flavors and takes. The orange blossom latte was delicious, or at least the few sips I stole from my wife was. The stretcher was new to me. Felt like a new take on an iced americano. At least new to me. If I was in the area again, I'd visit to try out the seasonable flavors.

    Side quest in Long Beach had me dropping by Cyclops for a quick caffeine pick me up. Compared to other coffee shops, it's open late and I appreciate that. Seems like a good spot to do work or just yap with the homies. My bourbon vanilla drink did the job but I just enjoyed the overall atmosphere and late hours. They also sell locally made candles by the register that smell great!

    Around 12pm on Tuesday I came here. When I walked in the place was clean and there were many students working with their laptops which is a good sign. I ordered an iced banana latte. It was 8 dollars. It came fast and the guy even walked out from the counter to personally hand it to me. Excellent service. The latte was TOO good. Oh my god it was delicious. It had just the right amount of banana flavoring and sweetness.

    Cookies n Cream Ube

    Ahh I wanted to like Cyclops so bad, I was so excited to finally try it after hearing great things about it. I'm really hoping I went on an off day. Their drink options are great, I love the creative flavor combinations and I love banana lattes and ube lattes. The cashier was very sweet it was a good start. I decided on the Banana Ube latte- they made me the cookies n cream one accidentally & handed it to me but didn't tell me as I was leaving, I had to come back in and then they said they knew it was supposed to be banana. They remade the other one and let me keep the old one which is nice- but upon taking a sip I was hit with really really sour espresso and graininess that I wasn't sure was coffee grinds or their ube. I couldn't really taste the banana and the espresso tasted bad in each. I unfortunately could not and did not finish either :/

    The menu.

    I ordered a Matcha Latte for $5.50! That's pretty darn good. I really hope they don't raise their prices. There were a few tables along side the wall, however, they were all taken. It was about 10am when I got there. They also had lawn chairs outside, and since it was a nice day -not too hot- I decided to sit outside. I was comfy.

    Vanilla Iced Latte with Strawberry Cold Foam & Oatmilk
    Stephanie L.

    Came to the area for an errand and decided to stop by for a cup of coffee. I ordered the vanilla iced latte with strawberry cold foam, and wow -- the foam tasted super FRESH. You can actually taste real strawberries and not artificial syrup. The guy working at the front was really friendly and welcoming. I chose this drink because I saw it posted on Yelp, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The only thing I'd change is wishing the coffee flavor came through a bit more, but overall it was really good. The place was clean and cute!

    The service is top notch. The person who helped us at the register was friendly and super helpful. While I was waiting for my matcha she saw a dad with two kids sitting outside on the ground enjoying their treats. She went out and brought them chairs because the other seats were taken. Super sweet and thoughtful! My matcha was delicious. They have the ever so popular vegan donuts my kids love so we grabbed two of those too. There are about 10 tables with chairs inside as well as a counter to sit at towards the back. It's clean and welcoming inside, everything you could want at a little coffee shop. Definitely recommend.

    Banana Latte
    Letti C.

    This place has been on my list of local coffee shops to try and I'm glad I finally got to it. The barista was kind enough to help me decide on what to get for my first drink here. He started off by asking if I like my coffee on the sweet or not so sweet side. Going for the not sweet option he recommended the Banana Latte (I've been wanting to try a banana latte) so of course I said yes! The recommendation did not disappoint. The banana flavor is subtle and not overpowering and made a great combination with their blonde roast iced coffee. There were plenty of available open tables on a Sunday around noon. The music was at a nice volume, ideal for a work/study sessions. I will definitely be back!

    Iced latte w/ banana syrup on a lovely June morning.

    Definitely a coffee date spot. Came later on a Thursday morning and it was livelier than I would have expected: the tables were occupied with lots of friends chatting over their iced lattes. With the clean, warm ambiance of the space, it made me want to stay! Service was friendly and remarkably fast! It took less than theee minutes for my latte to be uttered from my lips to manifested in my hand. $6.50 for a small iced latte with syrup hurts the pocket but it's 2025 and helps the soul, so definitely worth it. I ordered an iced latte with their seasonal banana caramel syrup (funky monkey). The espresso dominates the top half of the drink, which is creamy, smooth, and pretty mild. Once the heavier syrup hits, it's slightly sweeter and somehow richer. Definitely more low-key than some of the banana lattes I've tried recently. I recommend checking this spot out! Bring a friend.

    Super chill spot. If you need to a quiet place to get work done this is it. All of the tables have an outlet nearby. The coffee is ok as well. The menu is simple and straight forward ie americano/late + sweetener. I'd give a higher rating for more pastry options and more coffee options. Besides that cool spot to get work done

    *Coffee Shop Challenge #1* My Yelp brother from another mother and I are trying at least 1 new coffee shop a month in our 2025 Yelp resolution. Cyclops Coffee tucked away in a small shopping center in Long Beach. It's easy peasy free parking. The Latte I ordered was a little underwhelming I even forgot to take a picture of it. The coffee/milk ratio was a bit off. I tasted more milk and barely and coffee flavor. It's a nice place to meet up with friends or for a meeting. Time flew by so fast we didn't even know we there for 4 hours!

    Ask the Community - Cyclops Coffee

    Hello! I have been trying to find dog friendly spots to go to in Lb, is cyclops coffee dog friendly?

    Technically no, but we do offer doggie treats and your pet can wait inside with you while you order. Many customers bring their pets before and after their vet visit. They can hang outside by the chairs as well. Hope this helps!

    Noticed it's a new spot in Long Beach and was wondering if there are any part-time/weekend jobs available to apply to. If so is there an online application? If not no worries!

    You can drop off a resume!

    Is this shop open yet? If not, when is the opening?

    Yes, soft opening with with abbreviated hours for now, from 7am-2pm. Thank you for your interest and support!

    I've been on the lookout for the best coffee in Long Beach and I think Colossus might just be it…read more Colossus is an adorable storefront on 2ND Street. I'm absolutely obsessed with their coffee menu, baked items, sandwiches, and their selection of grocery-like goods. I ordered the Midsommar caramel latte, ceasar salad sandwich on their fresh baked bread, and the strawberry rhubarb and pistachio danish (!!). I'd easily sign up for this lineup to be my last meal on earth. I even ordered a sourdough bread loaf with olives so I could ride this high for several more days. The Midsommar latte is crafted with housemade caramel, espresso, milk, and topped with sprinkles of fennel and bee pollen - the perfect finale to an already incredible drink. To hear that they also offer an extensive pizza menu? You won't be seeing the last of me, Colossus.

    Cinnamon Sugar Knot, Midsommar Latte ICED ONLY…read more This was my first time trying out colossus after always passing by it on my walks along 2nd street. I ordered a Cinnamon Sugar Knot and a after looking at the coffee options I decided to go with the Midsommar Latte. The Cinnamon Sugar Knot was pretty yummy, it had, in my opinion, a very good distribution of sugar all along the pastry and wasn't lackluster like I feel most places are. If you are craving a sweet bite of something I recommend the Cinnamon Sugar Knot for sure. The Midsommar Latte on the other hand had a pretty presentation and at first glance looked like it would be pretty good. Sadly to me the flavor wasn't there, it tasted very milky and lacked any other flavoring. It's suppose to be a spicy Carmel as described to me by the barista but as I stated I was just milky. If you crave more of a stronger coffee taste, as I tend to personally like, i definitely would stay away from the Midsommer Latte. The service was quick and the baristas were nice. There wasn't any music playing though when I went, maybe it was paused in accident, so it was extremely quite which isn't a bad thing but perhaps playing some lo-fi music to just set a nice relaxing tone would be great. All in all, not a bad little cafe, nice interior, yummy pastries, and good amount of options to choose from within the drink menu

Let's start with service: the woman at the front was very dry, quiet, and uninterested. We tried asking her if we could add cold foam or sweet cream to our drinks to make them sweeter, and she said it was only available on seasonal drinks. As an avid matcha latte consumer, this made zero sense to me. While I don't blame her bc she likely had nothing to do with that decision, she wasn't kind in relaying that information or trying to help me find something on the menu I may like. Her demeanor remained the same when my friend ordered his drink, and we both felt a very negative energy coming from this woman, simply put it didn't seem like she wanted to be there taking our order. This was around 1pm last Saturday (the 21st of March), so they had a decent amount of customers, but it wasn't some crazy morning rush. Forward to the drink : we grabbed our drinks which came out promptly. I tasted my matcha and just as I suspected due to the lack of sweetness, it just tasted like grassy chalk. I assumed that my friends latte would be better, as matcha can tend to have an earthy taste to it to begin with. Then I tried his... chalky and sour. Due to the lack of customization and the barista's attitude, we just took a couple sips and tossed our drinks. It was a super negative experience for a place I really really wanted to like. I think allowing people to use sweetener and cold foam on more than just seasonal lattes would be a great first start, and perhaps training the staff on appropriate customer interaction would also help. Loved the branding on this spot, but it seems like the people who work there don't want to be there and it really put a damper on the experience, and for a place so cute, the drinks and vibes should be top notch.
